Imagination library brings the love of reading to our little ones 💕

My son enjoys his books he receives in Imagination Library. It is a great program.

Children have been using their new tablets to code and make stories on PBS scratch Jr. They have learned about plot,setting and characters. We are still looking for an awesome coding app that is age appropriate that focuses on letter identification and phonics.

Looking forward to being at the Cumberland Public Library in Harlan County beginning at 1 p.m. tomorrow to register children (0-age 5) for Imagination Library! Can’t make it….. stop by the Harlan or Evarts libraries on Thursday afternoon to join in the excitement! Help spread the word!

Everyone – Breathitt County has scheduled their soft launch of Imagination Library for the evening of April 26 at LBJ Elementary. More information will be forth-coming.

Additional counties will be scheduling their events in the next couple of weeks. Visit this Holler to get more info!

We are working currently to schedule some additional “soft” launch events in the region for Imagination Library. As those dates are scheduled, we will post them here on the Holler and distribute info in each county.

The turnout today in Floyd County was amazing! We will have more pictures to post tomorrow and hopefully a final count of how many kids (ages 0-5) registered for Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library tomorrow.
